Hello, I would like to raise my concerns about svn, in particular its inability to intelligently handle moving files: it does so by deleting the old file and creating new one, which results in complete loss of history of that file.
Since there are going to be _big_ moves in yade's source tree (basically, I think, not a single file will be kept exactly where it is), we would effectively lose the whole history. I read a few comparisons of revision control systems and it seems that bazaar-ng (http://bazaar-vcs.org/) generally wins. Its syntax is very similar to svn (replace svn by bzr) and there is a utility to migrate whole svn repository to bzr. Berlios.de doesn't support bzr natively, but it can operate over http for downloads and sftp for commits (not sure if svn.berlios.de could be used for that?!). One more thing to consider, once we are in these changes, is to move away from berlios.de, since it has been down a few times - to e.g. launchpad.net, which supports bzr by default. Thoughts on this?
